UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, EDUCATION**

If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children and youth entitled to an education in emergencies, we would like to hear from you.

**Education Cannot Wait (ECW)** is the first global multilateral fund dedicated to supporting education for children and youth in countries affected by wars, disasters and crises. It was launched at the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 by a broad coalition of international aid agencies and public and private donors to usher in faster and more sustainable education responses in crises settings. ECW inspires political commitment to financing education in humanitarian contexts, catalyzes financial resources, facilitates joint programming between humanitarian and development actors, empowers local partners and seeks to strengthen quality and accountability.

ECW is hosted by UNICEF. The Fund is administered under UNICEF’s financial, human resources and administrative rules and regulations, while operations are run by the Fund’s own independent governance structure that provides strategic guidance and oversight to its investments. ECW’s day-to-day activities are carried out by a Secretariat under the direction of the ECW Director.

ECW is establishing a roster of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) interns. The ECW Internship Programme offers qualified and eligible students/graduates the opportunity to acquire direct practical experience in international development work in education under the direct supervision of the M&E team at the ECW Secretariat.

**How can you make a difference?**

**Purpose of the internship**:
Under the guidance of the Director of ECW and the direct supervision of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist, the intern(s) provides technical and operational assistance to various processes in researching, collecting, analyzing, and presenting data and analysis while learning about organizational processes to support the implementation of the ECW workplan.

Specifically, the interns will be given a portfolio of ECW-supported programmes based on geographical locations and interests and/or thematic expertise. They will review, code, and analyze annual/final reports from those programmes as well as qualitative and quantitative datasets to support the production of ECW’s 2023 annual results report (see previous publication: Education Cannot Wait 2023 Annual Results Report). Interns may also support other initiatives led by the M&E team related to monitoring, evaluation, learning and knowledge sharing.

**Main duties**:

- Collecting, quality assuring, analyzing and synthesizing information across ECW programmes to support program development and the design and drafting of the annual results report.
- Performing data quality checks of ECW-supported programme reports and results databases.
- Coding qualitative data to assess the type and extent of changes in outcomes reported by ECW programmes.

- Conducting program reviews or mapping through the ECW’s grants database to help synthesize information for learning and knowledge sharing.
- Supporting the development and management of databases and/or tracking tools to improve the M&E team’s ability to monitor the sharing and use of relevant knowledge products.
- Contributing to strengthening the overall ECW information management system.
- Assisting the M&E team with any other duties.

Interns will also define a project mid-way through their internship and work with an individual staff member to implement it during their internship.
